It would make more sense to steer clear of Justin and make this about 24/7's employment record. We've now had two anti-ND events sponsored by 24/7. Sure, they made them apologize but tOSU's old president had to apologize after his anti-Catholic remarks as well, I doubt it means they've given up the hate.

Don't give them a single click. I'd be happy to work on engineering a browser that filters all 24/7 site related news for those who don't want to mistakenly give them any business.

Make no mistake, we vote with our pocket books. Putting your money in ISD makes far more sense. Avoiding 24/7 at all costs makes a lot of sense(cents). Why patronize any business that has had anti-ND employees? Bind together and keep the money (and the clicks) in the family of fans and true supporters.


This is the only action that gets attention and it shouldn't be pacified with an apology email. Stay strong, keep this thread bumped and remember that they'll spew all sorts of shit until you make it apparent there is a unified front. Otherwise, the whores will take your money and smile.

This post gets it.

I'm not sure if I'd want an apology from Hopkins. It's just going to be some fake ass bullshit apology that a celebrity or politician would make. He's not sorry for what he did, he's sorry that this may affect his career.

100% correct

Mass 247 Cancellation Movement

I just officially cancelled. I feel so liberated!!

My email is below although I'm sure I'll take some heat for supporting Loy. :)

"Hello,

Please cancel my subscription to the 247 sports network and pro-rate the difference back to my card.

I'll be glad to join back up when I learn that Justin Hopkins is no longer employed by the network. I have enjoyed my time with your service and applaud the efforts of Steve Wiltfong and Tom Loy. I am choosing to use my money in a more professional setting where everyone follows the same professional standards of those two. Thanks for a great time and great information and I look forward to joining back in the future!!

Thanks,"

This is my favorite cancel so far.

Message received and classy. Very ND-like. Reps.

We almost need another wave of cancellations to show 247 that an "apology" and "reprimanding" is not good enough. JC Shurburtt's anti ND stuff with his "apology" was swept under the rug and forgiven but look at what has happened now.

Also what was Hopkins punishment? He had to take his picture off his twitter? He had to issue an "apology"?

This is not good enough.

re: Inserting yourself in the recruiting process

One would think it would not be hard to show that Mr. Hopkins, "involvement" with Blake Barnett was a) a recruiting violation or b) well beyond ethical journalism. That should be a question for an ambitious young legal mind. As for me this will be my last click on you or your CBSsportsline family of sites.

Unsubscribing is the biggest thing, but acting like we won't visit the site is a little redic.

I've checked it for QB recruit we're expected to look at.

I'm very glad that so many joined in on this and that it made a difference, but I also hope we have at least one IE member who keeps his access. IMO we're being unrealistic if we say we don't want that.

I frequent rivals when I want to look up a recruit or their ranking. Not the most pleasant-looking interface, but I know I can find whoever I'm looking for within three clicks, and I know exactly which clicks those are lol.
